ECA MISSION AND STATEMENT

The mission of the ECA is:


An alliance acting to conserve eagles worldwide.

The overall goal is to:


Ensure sustainable populations of eagles worldwide.

The goal will be accomplished by the ECA working to:

  • enhance the management of existing populations.
  • recover and, when appropriate, reintroduce eagles to nature.
  • conduct basic and applied research.
  • provide advice and technical support.
  • develop and distribute education and awareness materials.
  • communicate and share news and information.
  • fundraise for priority initiatives.
  • build capacity (training) in science and eagle management.

To ensure effectiveness and results on eagle conservation, a number of working groups generated to focus on critical high priority tasks.

Highlights from the working groups:

  • Formation of a working group to create a lay-friendly narrative on the value of eagles and the ECA, including its mission, purpose and priorities ? to be used as a brochure and eventually for a website.
  • Formation of a working group to create a development strategy that will identify additional individuals with appropriate expertise who are willing to assist with fundraising.
  • Formation of a working group on compiling known information on eagle biology in the disciplines of behavior, genetics, nutrition, reproduction, infectious diseases and preventative medicine.
  • Decision to create a task force that would have the capacity for dealing with species-specific issues that would define biological uniqueness and continuing education to benefit both ex situ and in situ programs.
  • Decision to endorse, support and/or conduct multiple projects, including surveys on species status and specific training needs. Projects are described in the specific section: "Ongoing projects".
